# Private Endpoints

> MocklyAPI provides secure access to your mock APIs

MocklyAPI offers private endpoints to ensure the security of your mock API endpoints.

When private endpoints are enabled, requests must include a valid `auth_token` as a query parameter or the `mocklyapiauthtoken` header to access the mock API.

<Note>This feature is enabled by default to safeguard your mock API endpoints.</Note>

You have the option to disable this feature if you wish to make your mock API endpoints publicly accessible.

<Warning>Ensure you save the endpoint settings for the changes to take effect.</Warning>
